Weekly General Astrology Forecast May 5th 2025

Harness the courage to find out for sure

It’s never too late to try again

When we move, the universe moves with us

Get resistance training! For the soul. Heaven helps those who are willing to take action this week. We are entering the final weeks of Jupiter’s transit through Gemini. It’s no use talking a good game. Especially when it comes to ideas, projects and plans. As Gemini’s ruling planet Mercury aligns to Jupiter on the 5^th, we need to use this as a kick-start and to borrow the slogan: Just Do It.

No, we don’t need to do it all at once. Especially if this feels daunting. All we need do is take the first, next or most obvious step. If you believe what you want to do is impossible – you will never know until you actually try. Again, there is always a step we can take no matter where we currently find ourselves. This week we can all gain access to a fresh set of tools or a new approach thanks to Mercury’s meeting with Chiron in Aries on the 8^th. Desire is the mother of reinvention. Or simply having no other option but to try something new.

Dare yourself to see just what you can get away with and the results this gets you if you do. We all know that person who talks about what they are gonna do. But who never actually gets around to doing it. Yes, this keeps you safe from failure. But also guarantees you’ll never succeed either. Be prepared to risk it this week. And just push yourself beyond your present limits. All that’s being asked is one step outside of that comfort zone. And surely by now you know – nothing happens there anyway.

For the third time Venus in Aries makes a come on to Pluto in Aquarius (6^th). And yes, this is designed to show you that sometimes the universe gives us second and even third chances. And also that it’s never too late. Don’t be afraid to back track and consider a re-approach if you’ve let something slip through your fingers. This is also an excellent transit under which to get back in touch with old contacts. This includes professional ones. The present line-up in self-assertive Aries is designed to help us overcome shyness or procrastination. And also wants us living in a regret-free future. Woulda, shoulda, coulda – just find out for sure.

Mercury moves into Taurus (10^th) and aids us with its ‘one step at a time’, focussed and practical approach. It has us in the mood not to rush. And to surrender to doing whatever it takes to get the result we want. We’re also more patient. With ourselves and with others. And we take our time to craft what we say so there’s no room for misunderstanding. Don’t be tripped up by getting too rigid when it comes to those ideas or your approach however. Or even what the result is going to look like. Yes, having a clear goal as we take that first crucial step is important. But equally important is to enjoy the journey. And to keep an eye open for fresh ideas or an even better outcome. If you rush you may miss these. And if you don’t start you’ll never know what awaits you anyway. If your outcome is knowing for sure and having no regrets, then you’re already on your way this week.

In a nutshell: If you never try – you’ll never know. Giving yourself permission to fail is also handing yourself what you need to succeed. And no matter our circumstances, there’s always a step we can take towards making that plan a reality. It’s usually only one that redefines our limits.
